My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

What would happen if i used the wrong voltage power cord on my g4

What would happen if I used a higher voltage power cord on my powerbook G4.

It is not the cord that determines what the voltage is, but what electrical supply it is connected to.

What would happen if I added the itouch email to the add accounts on my iphone and confirmed that email address? Would only my iphone get both (itouch and iphone) messages? or will my itouch then also get my iphone messages as well??

What would happen if I used Recovery Disk?

I've recently bought a new iMac (Core i5) that came with Lion pre-installed, but I needed Snow Leopard for all my older software e.g. Photoshop CS, so I got the sellers to install SL for me. Everything is fine.
Out of curiosity I tried to see if I could run Tiger from my old G5 HDD which is connected via USB, but it didn't come up in the list when I did Restart + Option. However, what DID come up was an extra drive named "Recovery". I understand this is a separate Lion partition on my HDD - so, what would happen if I selected that via Restart + Option? Would it open Lion on my iMac so I could have a play around with it? And if it did, would I then be able to get back to SL and all my data, users, and settings, after I'd finished?
I don't want to try it out without advice, in case Lion overwrites SL irretrievably.

My question is this : can I safely restart from Recovery in order to just play around with Lion, or will starting from Recovery reinstall Lion over the top of SL on my main disk?
If your machine only has SL and the Recovery HD, then the only thing you can do when booting into the latter is REINSTALL Lion on top of SL or do some basic things, but Lion isn't installed. Details in Recovery/ and About Lion Recovery.

Can anyone tell me what would happen if I left the photo field blank on the Cards app on iOS?

I like one of the letterpress designs but i'd prefer if the photo did not exist on the inside cover.
Does anyone know what would happen if I left it blank or of any way to remove it?
Thanks

A friend can't update her iPad (1) as it times out after 12 Hours. What would happen if she uses my pc with a faster Internet? Will my iTunes, syncing etc get messed up with hers?

A friend can't update her iPad (1) operating system as it keeps telling her to do, as her Internet timed out after 12 hours. Can we use my PC with a fast Internet or will that mess up my iTunes, syncing etc? Should she just find an apple store?

- She can try disabling the the security software on here computer during the download and update.
- Update the iPad on your computer will not mess up yur computer or iPad. However, she will then have to restore the iPad on her computer if she want to sync to that computer. Also, unless all the media is on your computer it will not be on her computer after the update.

What would happen if I cleared the "hidemyip.log"?

I was concerned about hard drive space, so I downloaded "disk inventor X" to see what all of my memory was being taken up by. I found out that under "var" and "log" a file name called "hidemyip.log" was taking up 104.8GB of my hard drive space. Would it make any differency at all if I were to clear the log? If not, how would I get rid of that 104.8GB of memory being taken up by that? If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It's a log file, so you shouldn't have any problem after deleting the file. Note that it won't harm your Mac, because your computer will create the file again if it is needed

What will happen if I pull the new pages out of my applic folder and try to use the 09 pages?

I'm tired of fighting the new (less functional) Pages. I created a 16 page newsletter in the 09Pages version but when I opened it today it had been transferred into the newer version and It had lost a bunch of data I had designed into it. I had gotten instruction from an Apple support person on how to tell it to open in the old version so I quit the new version and opened the old one but it's not working according to her directive. It keeps telling me I have to download a newer version to open it. What would happen if I pull the new version out of the applications folder .... will that disable it temporarily and allow me to use only the old version?

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
If you want to keep Pages 5 there are a couple of methods to make Pages 4.3 the default. Just make sure you've reverted or converted any files to iWork '09 format first. If you don't want to keep Pages 5 you can delete it.
Method 1:
This was first posted by another user in this forum. I can't remember who or when. It has been "fine-tuned" by Peter Breis & I added a note for what works for me.
1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder. I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13.
2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
3. Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
4. Select any Pages file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
5. Retrieve the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
Important: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.
Method 2:
This is the one I used based on several posts here shortly after Pages 5 was released. I now use method 1 because I find it easier to apply updates when Apple releases them.
1. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications."
2. I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3.
I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

I just bought an ipod nano and cannot figure out how to sync the music from itunes onto it. i go to itunes and nothing happens. Is there a sync button im not seeing? I get my playlisits but that is it.

I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?
What I am ultimately wanting to do is make more room on my computer by backing up all of my files onto the external hard drive and then deleting them off of my computer. However, neededing to be able to retrieve them from the external hard drive later down the road.
From what I have read and am trying to understand, is that I probably shouldn't have used time machine. I need to use the external hard drive like a basic flash drive where I can put things on and get things off without having it automatically update through time machine everytime I connect it to my computer.
Not tech savvy at all and barely understand basics. I need very simple and easy to understand explanations.

BIG BIG MISTAKE ..... youre making a linchpin deathtrap for your data trying to shove everything on a single fragile HD.
Dont suffer the tragedy other people make, buy another or 2 more HD, theyre cheap as dust.
The number of people who have experienced terror by having a single external HD backup is enormous. One failure that WILL HAPPEN, and kaput,......all gone!
Dont do it, its all about redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.
follow here:
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Deleting them off your computer is fine....having only ONE copy is extremely BAD.
The Tragedy that will be, the tragedy that never should be
Always presume correctly that your data is priceless and takes a very long time to create and often is irreplaceable. Always presume accurately that hard drives are extremely cheap, and you have no excuse not to have multiple redundant copies of your data copied on hard drives and squirreled away several places, lockboxes, safes, fireboxes, offsite and otherwise.
Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail (the very same is true of SSD). Hard drives dont die when aged, hard drives die at any age, and peak in death when young and slowly increase in risk as they age.
Never practice at any time for any reason the false premise and unreal sense of security in thinking your data is safe on any single external hard drive. This is never the case and has proven to be the single most common horrible tragedy of data loss that exists.
Many 100s of millions of hours of lost work and data are lost each year due to this single common false security. This is an unnatural disaster that can avoid by making all data redundant and then redundant again. If you let a $60 additional redundant hard drive and 3 hours of copying stand between you and years of work, then you've made a fundamental mistake countless 1000s of people each year have come to regret.

If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

Well I know I said I only have a second generation iPod Touch, so maybe I'm out of Touch (no pun intended) but I fail to understand how you have installed a SIM card into an iPod Touch.
If your iPod Touch can have a SIM card installed into it, I would think that makes it a phone.
iPhone perhaps?
Sigh!

What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?

I wish to completely de-activate my @hotmail email address in order to be left with just my @icloud email address becuase I would find life more managable that way.
I found out that I cannot change my primary @hotmail email address linked to my Apple ID with an @icloud email address as it is an active, separate Apple ID (in itself with a separate purchase / download history etc)...
Also I am aware that separate Apple ID's cannot be merged together...
My question is: "What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?"
Would I be able to keep and use my purchases, provided they are backed up on my Mac and authorised?
Would I be able to update those transferred purchases even though the email address linked to the apple ID in which the app was bought no longer exists?

You can change the primary e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, so long as it isn't a mac, me or icloud email.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
Your Apple ID account, regardless of the primary email, can never be 'deleted', just abandoned.
You could always just switch between the two Apple IDs as needed, to access the different purchases.

What would happen if I forgot to click on eject, before disconnecting ipod?

Is it neccessary to click on the eject button before disconnecting my ipod? What would happen if I forgot? Would I lose all my music?

Ejecting is so old school. I just unplug it like I have been doing for years. No problems yet. I figure that the hardware shouldn't be affected even if there is a little data loss and if it is, it's crap and I will take it back.
I think the ejecting legend has become a remnant from old-school mac days that hangs around to keep you from unplugging while syncing. Shouldn't be a problem....at least from what I have experienced on Windows. I am not sure if Macs still require that ejecting stuff on external media...

What would happen if i had my ipod sync to a computer then i plugg it in a different computer and i sync it to that computer what would happen

what would happen if i had my ipod sync to a computer then i plugged it in to a different computer and sync it what would happen

The contenst of the iPod would be erased and replaced with what is in the itunes library of the computer. You can manage music among different computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

HT3819 What if one device breaks down? What would happen to the itunes libraries in the other linked devices?

For example, I turned on Home Sharing for two computers in my home. Therefore, the two itunes libraries contain the same data. However, if one computer got a virus and all its data has been wiped out, including my music, films on iTunes - basically, if the computer just broke down....What would happen to the iTunes library in the other computer? Would all its data be wiped out as well?
Thanks

Home Sharing lets you stream or copy media from one library to another. If you stream media only the source computer has a copy of the data. If that machine died you would lose the data. If you copy the media across then you have a backup. I don't offhand know if Home Sharing lets you copy ripped CDs as well as store purchases as I've never used it.
I would recommend you have one master library that you sync all of your devices to and you back that up! Other computers can then stream content or you can make local copies.
